Employees

We are striving to build a Nordgold culture in which more than 8,000 of our people, regardless of which operation they are engaged in, identify with each other as part of a team welded together with a common purpose.

As an employer, we bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of our employees and providing a stable way of life. We want our people to be confident about their future. Fair rewards, career progression opportunities and a safe working environment are some of the fundamental rights that we believe all our people deserve as we recruit and retain the best talent in the mining industry.
